A Tribute to a Leader

Late President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR

Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.

As we bid farewell to a remarkable leader, we reflect on the transient nature of life. Few individuals have the privilege of shaping a nation's destiny, and you, Baba Buhari, were blessed with this rare opportunity not once, but twice.

Your dedication to public service and leadership has left an indelible mark on Nigeria's history. As you return to your Creator, we pray for the family you've left behind, that they may find solace in the memories of your love and legacy.

May Aljanna Firdaus be your final resting place, and may your soul rest in peace.

Adieu, Late President and Commander-in-Chief.

Your contributions to Nigeria 🇳🇬 will never be forgotten.
